Sometimes We Need to Laugh
By Drew Howard , President, HomePro, Inc.
Over the years working with
many trades you hear some
funny stories. Some are true and others are
fantasy. I thought I would share some of
those. I am also including a few 1 liners that
make me laugh.
I just listed a maintenance free house….
Yep, in the last 25 years there hasn’t been any
maintenance.
90% of the people in the world hate wallpa-
per…the other 10% hate your wallpaper.
On the fixer up house that needs major
work….Putty and paint will make it what it
aint, or it just needs some lipstick and make-
up.
The best line from a carpenter. Have you
ever seen a straight tree in the woods? Why
do you think my cuts would be straight?
The best line from a contractor. I’m not
building a piano…I’m building a home.
The best from a plumber. I’m not made
from li quid.
The best from an electrician. I can’t see it
from my house.
The best from a pest contractor. If the
termites stop holding hands the house will
fall down.
We have all heard the handy man call
caulking…corking or the chimney the chim-
ley.
There is the old story of the meter reader
that convinced people that setting a brick on
their meter would slow it down. He built a
brick home for free.
There are 3 things that will kill you
in a home. 1. Electrical….2. Carbon
Monoxide…..3. Your spouse
For the Realtor….So I said, sure, I’ll reduce
my commission…every time you reduce your
asking price.
Hope you got a laugh. If you have any
home inspections needs please give me a call
